The Frankfort Literary So
ciety Again.

There can be no mistake about
it, Frankfort is waking up. Last
fall the old city completed her
hundreth year and celebrated the
occasion in a manner that would
have done credit to any of the
larger cities Of the country, and
only few days since she took the
necessary steps to enlarge her rail-
road connections with the rest of
the world, and now she has added
the blessings Of the Literary So.
ciety to the list Of her steps in
progress. The plan Of this So
ciety is such as to enable it to do
a great good in our midst-indeed
it can do nothing but good, and
deserves the appreciation Of every
man, woman and child who de-
sires a general diffusion Of
knowledge and the advancement
Of cultivated thoughts.
The programme has been COM
pleted and will contain many lite
rary features both rich and rare;
in a word it will be a feast Of fat
things. Mrs. Rosa Vertner Jeffrey
is expected to have poem on the
Blue Grass Belt; Capt. Sam.
Gaines will read a paper on the
great London Literary Club in the
days Of Sam. Johnson; DR.. Gober
will read an essay on Sleep; four
young lawyers will debate the pro-
priety Of encouraging foreign emf
grafton; Mrs. Wade will read a
selection; Robert Burns Wilson,
Col. Tom Ford and Miss Katie
Shipp will read original poems;
and the whole OF the ceremonies
will be interspersed and agreeably
favored with the most charming
songs from Miss Nellie Orbison,
Miss Clara Stafford and Will Heff.

Our people will look forward to
this intellectual treat next Thurs

The truth Of the whole business
is. that the parties are much more
nearly balanced than is generally
believed. If the voting was done
by secret ballot, the facts above
stated would be given still more
emphatic demonstration.
The total vote cast shows that
it is the largest vote ever given in
the State, and does away with the
cry that General Apathy was
manifested as to the result.
The fact still remains. with
stubborn force, that the people are
restless under the present state Of
affairs. and have hardly, as yet,
made up their minds as to the
extent Of the revolt from party
domination that they are willing
to make.
The following are the official
figures on the heads of the State
tickets, as shown by the official
vote now on file in the Secretary
of States Office, up to the hour Of
our going to press:

The signs of Kentucky's awaken
ing to new era Of progress and
prosperity are evident upon every
hand. Thank God that the Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep of our grand
old State is thing Of the past!
Now let every man put his shout
der to the wheel and make the
dear old mother Of us all what her
natural position and resources en-
title her to be. She has long been
noted for her beautiful women,
brave men. fast horses and fine
whisky Now let us add another
greater and grander appellation to
her diadem, that Of a wide awake,
energetic. enlightened, intelligent,
thriving and prosperous people.
Let our people remember that
the opportunity to thrive and pros
per Gin order to be permanent and
not to be short-lived mush-roo n
BOOM must have solid and sub
stantial backing Of material wealth.
That Kentucky has in untold
measure. Husband your resources;
invest your means in Kentucky
enterprises and Kentucky meas
ures. Do not send your hard
earned money to other States
under the glamor Of fictitious
booms, which may soon be swept
away by the breath of adversely,
but put it here at home where you
can kuo7v that all is as it is repre-
sented and not what hired blovi'
ators may paint it.
There is no earthly reason why
Kentucky should not show up, in
the next decade, In the van of the
prosperous section Of the country,
where she ought to have been
years ago, but for her easy-going.
sleepy-headed way of doing.
Enough Of the past. Let us
look with high hope and deter
mined resolve to the frightening
future.

of the West, died suddenly Of
appopleXy at his home near Lex

Clay was said to be strikingly like
his father. He was breeder and
trainer of thoroughbrcds and had,
at one time, been quite successful
upon the turf. Of late years,
however, his successes were more
than overbalanced by reverses.
He leaves a wife, but no children.

can be taken Of the result, we can
safely say that its like never has
been seen in the State of Ken
lucky. Old and experienced poll
ticians have been dumfounded,
and have had all their calculations
knocked into smithereens.
1t is amusing to looker-on to
hear how the different wiseacres
account for its astounding facts.
The first excuse was General
Apathy. The next was that the
Prohibition and Labor parties had
done the mischief. Another was
local question and quarrels were
the cause. And so on to the end
Of the chapter.
None Of these excuses were
found to hold water and have
proved failures.
The true causes of the whole
thing were simply these: The
Republican party has been grow
ing steadily and rapidly. Rid of
the Offices. and their attendant
quarrels and heart-burnings, the
party has been solidihed and has
brought out, nearer than ever
before, its full vote. 1t still has
quite a laroe vote which was
unpolled.
The Democrats. also, now have
the Offices to quarrel over, both
State and National; and their
supreme confidence in their major
iry made them resort to a barbe-
cue campaign, with its attendant
pyrotechnics. in place Of close,
hand-to hand work.

Editor BULLETIN. The glorious
occasion OF the 11lth. bitthday of the
Nation was periodically observed here
In the daytime picnic was held at
the pleasant grounds on the ranch OF
Fred Fredericks, on Walker river,
which was largely attended. In al
dition to the Sweetwater people there
were present people from Bodie, Au-
rora, Newberg, Star City, Clinton
and Pine Grove, who had not neg
lected to bring with them an ample
supply of good things TO tickle the
palate and satisfy the cravings of the
inner man. Several tables had been
placed under the trees in the orchard
and an awning constructed over these,
which effectually excluded any of old

kets, to which the hungry crowd Of
picnickers did full justice. Tea and
coffee were furnished for the occas
ion by Mrs. Frediricks, who exerted
herself to further the success and en-.
joyment of the occasion; and others
furnished soda water, thus the thirst
of the crowd was assuaged.
The afternoon was pleasantly passed
in various exercises. After a song by
the Newberg Glee Club, IN Grafton
was delivered by Charles Dalzell,
which was followed by more singing;
then came chicken pulling and
several races.
Toward evening, those present got
| out their conveyances and proceeded
almost EN- masse to the commoIious
residence OF Henry Williams, and after
partaking of supper and enjoying a
short rest, dancing was inaugurated
in the hall above, where light and

Journal office 1t contains correspon.
dence from Major James McFarlane,
who came to this coast with the vetrap
Zouaves, from which we clip the fol.
lowing extract;
Reno is lively town with an ex
tenslve depot. Among the residents
there are about 800 Mormons, but
they live more in fear of the Govern.
ment than do those in Utah. They
are represented as very peaceful and
industrious class, and they strictly
adhere to the tenets of the Mormon
church without placing themselves
in antagonism 10 the law of the land.
All through Nevada there are small
settlements of Mormons who form
colonies, till the land, and live
on the same principles that prevail in
Salt Lake City. Close by Reno is a
large Indian reservation for the Piute
tribe. The Piutes are divided up
into bands, each with a captain who
is chief. They are the most docile
set of Indians that | met on trip
across the continent. They dress very
peculiarly, with long breeches, a
short jacket, sash, sailor-llke hat with
the wing of bird stuck In the band.
If you speak to them they laugh and
express their delight in meeting pale
faces. A popularity about
THE PIUrE INDIANS
Is the fact that their dead are buried
in secret OF all that have passed
away since the advent of the white
man into the western country, no one
appears to know what becomes of the
dead bodies of the Piutes. Members
of the tribe move off silently In the
night and dig grave, into which the
corpse is placed, and it is unknown
whether even the relatives of the de.
ceased are given information as to his
last resting place. All traces of the
grave are obliteratcd, and only time
and observations will reveal where
the remains are deposited. The Gus
tom of secret burial is universal
among this tribe. They are great
rabbit hunters and fishers. They
make hooks from rabbit homes and
crossword, which are said to be far
superior to those used by the whites

the reservation, go into Reno, and
there engage with families for house

by Chinese to great extent, but since
the introduction of the squaws the
Chinese had to go, as the Indian
women proved by far the more &C
ceptable. II was something new for
these free daughters of the mount

service in white families, but the
longer they worked the better they
liked it, and as the demand for places
tar exceeded the supply at Reno, they
commenced looking elsewhere.-Re,aO
